Dean....You mean it's all in my mind, and I'm only being fooled into thinking anti-fatigue mats work? Heh,heh,heh.......
Actually, I'm in a unique position to tell if a my gel mat works for me. You see, I stand all day long at work, and I stand for long sessions of lathe turning in my home shop. There is a difference, and I'm much more comfortable in my home shop while standing on the gel mat. At work, there is a hard rubber mat with almost no cushion to it.
The level of comfort I feel has a direct relationship on my well being, and endurance. I don't think I'm being fooled into believing my body gets less tired with the gel mat, than I do at work. For me, it's real, and not psychological trickery.
